Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I wish you and your family happy holidays. Thank you for coming to testify upon invitation.
My first question has to do with veterans and military members. That group is at a huge risk. In fact, the rate of suicide has increased among both men and women. That rate is 26.6% for men and 14% for women—which is 45% higher than among the general population.
You manage various priorities, including disability, workforce adjustment, returns following an extended leave, moves with a spouse or a common-law partner who is a member of the Canadian Forces, and so on.
Are there any special measures to quickly reintegrate veterans into the workforce?
